Sports series can be hard to nail. But when they're good, like these 20 series, they're so good. 'Friday Night Lights' Friday Night Lights is the ultimate sports television series.
It has heart, drama, and genuinely interesting plots. The series shows why high school sports are such a major part of American culture and establishes itself as its own part of American culture. 'Ted Lasso' If there’s any sports television series to contend with Friday Night Lights , it’s Ted Lasso .
Everything about the series was done well. The character development, the writing, the sets — nothing about it was lazy. The series ended too soon for some, but for others, it was perfect.
'The Last Dance' Not all great sports television series are scripted. Plenty of sports documentaries have captured millions. The Last Dance isn’t just a great sports documentary.
It’s a great documentary. It gives people a new look at Michael Jordan and shows why many will forever consider him the GOAT. 'Cobra Kai' You don’t have to be a fan of The Karate Kid to enjoy Cobra Kai , but it certainly helps.
The critically acclaimed comedy series about karate is a good reminder that there are more sports to care about than basketball and football. 'GLOW' Sometimes, the best series give you insight into something you know little about. GLOW did that through a comedic lens to uncover what life was like for female wrestlers in the ‘80s.
And there was plenty of drama, too. 'The League' The idea to make a comedy.
